On November 5, Speaking Down Barriers turns 5 years old, and we would love for you to come and celebrate with us! Woohoo!
What better way to celebrate the work of brave dialogue & art than with an art show, poetry showcase, a wonderful panel, and amazing food & dialogue?! Visual artists and poets bring your art for the “Pop-Up”! No table fees. Just share your art and you keep your sales. :)
Since November 2013, Speaking Down Barriers has provided a space for the community to have dialogue around achievement gaps, educational and wealth gaps, health equity, white privilege, oppression, intersectionality, differences of religion, and so much more. Our very first dialogue was called “Spartanburg: Opportunity for All?” and we naively entered into dialogue around classism in our very own community. Who knew what “Poetry and Conversation” would become?!
Most importantly, this work has led us and others to wrestle with who we are in the midst of many pieces, asking questions like:
“What is your power for transformative change?”
“Are you liberated within yourself?”
Join us in November for “Love Expansion”! Bring a dish to share, a friend, and your family. Let’s celebrate healing & life!
